Hemp agrimony leaves, dried, in Paraguay affectionately called "doctorcito" ("the Doc") also water-hemp or holy rope, is used as a shamanic remedy. The plant, which grows up to 2 m tall, has pointed leaves that stand diagonally upwards.
The leaves are somewhat reminiscent of hemp, but the plant has nothing to do with hemp, but is good for hangovers.
